Sunil Narineis a bit of a wasted resource down the order. When he opens the batting, he doesn’t generally hang around without getting appropriate returns. If he has spends time at the crease, chances are he would have scored a decent number of runs, in quick time too. KKR have used that ploy on several occasions in the past, but did not use it in the previous match. Narine as opener is a risk KKR should pursue. The other impact batsman in the KKR line-up is Chris Lynn, who looked good when scoring 49 in the previous match.

Jason Roy made a fine impression on his debut for the Delhi Daredevils; he was unbeaten in his previous inning, and DD will want him to carry on from where his innings ended it in the previous match. With the Inclusion of Roy, DD have three batsmen with strike-rates of over 140 in their batting line-up; Roy strikes at 144, Rishabh Pant at 162 and Glenn Maxwell at 157.

KKR’s Sunil Narine will be the one bowler the Delhi Daredevils batsmen will look at playing out. Narine may not have collected too many wickets in recent times, but he has been extremely difficult to score off. His bowling figures so far in the competition read 1-30, 1-17 and 2-17.

Head to Head

The two captains in this match have both represented the Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils. The current KKR captain Dinesh Karthik donned the DD jersey in 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2014. The current DD captain Gautam Gambhir captained KKR between 2011 & 2017 and led them to two IPL titles.

Sunil Narine needs one more wicket to join the 100 IPL wickets club; he will be the first overseas spinner to reach the milestone.
